    Within two hours someone had tracked down my email. “You’re the problem. You’re the toxic dipshit who’s responsible for the whole British bias in F1. You’re the worst,” it read.

    Damn.

    I somewhat understand Max's frustration. A whole season has happened, with wins, and losses, DNF's, etc. Why ask about one specific incident saying "Do you regret this?" It seems to narrow the entire season to "Remember that penalty you got against the British driver?"

    I'm there there were lots of places he lost points, and that was somewhat Max's thought I think.
